Gentlemen, What mess kit would have been in use by the 1890's? Would it have still been the 1874 equipment? I'm looking to put one together that I can actually use. When did the aluminum kits come into use?

Thanks! I found that site after I posted this morning. It looks like I'll probably go with the aluminum World War 1 type, as I can't find anyone that makes the 1874. No one will see it most of the time anyway.
